...and the cleaner still wipes out typed URLs in IE browser history drop down list though the cleaner box is deselected. It's been reported since the first beta, but still no fix. A small thing to ask.

Answer:latest CCleaner betas and RC version

Posting the problem here, won't fix the issue. But, did you also run the issues portion ... err registry cleaner? If so, it may have wiped it there.

Having uesd Ccleaner for ages, this new version (CCleaner v2.30.1130) has wiped out ALL my favicons from my bookmarks and special web pages I've put in the browser, so I've gone back to the previous version.I visited the Ccleaner forum and some other Opera users have also complained see click here there is a workaround but I will stick with and old version for now. Piriform are aware of the issue and are addressing it.bretsky;0)

When I try to download the latest version of CCleaner, I no longer get the "Run" Option.The Options I get are: "Open", "Save", and "Close" for the Setup.exe file.If I click "Open", nothing happens, even though I wait several minutes.If I clock "Save", it saves the file to my Download Folder. If I then try to open it, a popup opens that asks which Program I want to open it in.Where am I going wrong?

In Process of repairing a Avast issue on Mom's PC, decided to update to latest version of Ccleaner at same time, well before I had Avast back in, Defender detected a Trojan and deleted it, I thought that problem was all solved weeks ago, I can get the specific threat info if need be, virustotal says the file is clean, so confused on what proper way to do things now.

I'll have a screenshot in a few moments, will have to up there most likely and get the screen shot then transfer it down here to post

Will Scan the Intel Atom PC, installed on that one, as Avast showed was clean, and also will check my main desktop shortly

*Reason why I still use Avast on each and every PC wasn't sure I trusted Defender, but maybe after this, i'll go thru the hassle of removing Avast from every PC and just stick with Defender and MSE on the Little Windows 7 slow Atom PC, I thought the Ccleaner issue was all solved though

Attackers hid malware inside CCleaner between August 15 and September 12, 2017 when version 5.33 of the app was available for download. CCleaner, a computer cleaning and optimization tool developed by Piriform, was hit by criminals in a supply chain attack, by which hackers can infect downloads to trusted software. This type of attack typically succeeds because the bad guys exploit the trust relationship between a manufacturer or supplier and a customer. Ironically, Piriform is owned by Avast, a leading provider of anti-malware software.

In a press release last November, Piriform stated that CCleaner, had reached 2 billion downloads and counting, making it one of the most popular pieces of software worldwide. This impressive figure, the release noted, equates to more than one download for every three people on earth and that CCleaner downloads now top 20 million per month.

I just bought a used "high spec" computer which had Windows 7 Ultimate installed on the one SSD, and Linux on the other SSD. At my request the seller generously uninstalled Linux, and formatted the SSD.

When disconnecting the second SSD, it boots well, but then I obviously don't have use of the second SSD.

I have since Friday been reading on the web, and whilst there seems to be an "Ubuntu" cure for this, I have absolutely no idea what it refers to. I used to think I have an average knowledge of computers, But clearly I don't.

Please help if you can, as my computer is my only company.

Thanks & kind regards

Answer:Windows 7 Ultimate won't boot - GNU GRUB version 2.02 beta2-9

Hi Zelle, and Welcome,

You might be better off posting this in the linux forum.

Grub is more of a linux thing and I am sure someone will know how to remove it,

Starting with a 'cleaned' machine, I've noticed (on a number of PC's) that CCleaner typically cleans in excess of 1MB of junk after a very short browsing session. It used to find only a few KB.Out of curiosity, has any one any idea either what it is cleaning now that it didn't before or whether my browser (Firefox) is accumulating more than it used to.

Answer:Latest CCleaner

In Firefox you can have it delete cookies cache browsing history Ect when you switch off.Maybe you do not have it set right.

Hi there,I've just downlosded the latest version of CCleaner Ver.1.17.090. When I click on the old Icon on my DESKTOP which is now 1.17.090 the CCleaner Window opens but when I click RUN CLEANER I get this little Window saying - "This process will permanently delete files from your system. Are you sure you wish to proceed."Has anyone else experienced this. I chose CANCEL instead of OKThanksHenmin

Answer:Latest CCleaner Ver.1.17.090

It's an additional warning feature, you can disable it if you want. It appears to be fairly futile as the whole point of the cleaner is to get rid of the junk files. Click on cancel and it doesn't do anything.

It resolves to: http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/6duj34uc.iso which is not found at least at this time. This is version: 3.05-3.06 which includes some fixes for Windows 7 and for x64 systems this is the method necessary for updating BIOS.

Yep looks like that link is broken. I've found that this type of Lenovo support site error ususally gets fixed within 24 hours after I report it through the Site feedback link on the left of the site pages.

I am in the process of upgrading my trusty file server that has been running Ubuntu 6.1 since 2007. I havent touched that box till now. I am wondering to upgrade to the latest version of ubuntu, do i need to reformat or there is some way for me to update the kernel?

I am striving to learn about linux and everything is very new to me. I really do not want to reformat as that will nuke all my samba configs...can someone advise me?

Answer:Upgrading Ubuntu from version 6 to latest version - do i need to reformat/install?

I was adviced of that the latest version of CCleaner was up for grabs at their site, the version 1.41.544. I downloaded it as ususal and updated my version without probs. I've since used it for a couple of days.

Today I was made aware of by my antivirus BitDefender v10 that the uninstall.exe in that prog was infected by Trojan.Downloader.Zlob.AADO. The virus was removed but the file couldn't be cleaned and thus removed. When consulting the log from BitDefender I could see that not only the uninstall.exe in CCleaner's program folder was removed but listed as infected and thus removed was also the original Setup.exe from the update. As far as I can understand this means that the update was contaminated before it reached my comp in the first place.

I don't know if the contamination has occured at one of the sites where CCleaner can be downloaded or if it has happened at the source so to speak. A word of warning is due though and that you should be extra careful when downloading this update.

Panda Cloud A/V is blocking/neutralizing the latest setup attempt as a virus identified as W32/Exploit.gen. In any event, it won't install. First CCleaner version update that Panda has reported/blocked this.

Answer:latest CCleaner download setup infected?

I just downloaded the slim exe file from MajorGeeks and went to Jotti's VirusTotal site to have it analyzed. It is clean, as you can see. Click on the picture to enlarge it.

This is by way of a warning, subject to further investigation.Having updated to the latest version of Chrome today (32.0.1700.76 m), I have found that running Ccleaner (with various Chrome cleanups selected) causes Chrome to subsequently report corruptions / lack of extensions etc. etc.Ccleaner actually makes internal changes to various Chrome settings files. Seems likely that Chrome has made some fundamental changes that do not sit at all well with with what Chrome now does.In the short term I would suggest disabling Chrome cleaning in Ccleaner and installing something like Click&Clean (a Chrome extension).

Answer:Latest Chrome Update appears not to sit well with Ccleaner

Re-write:Ccleaner actually makes internal changes to various Chrome settings files. Seems likely that Chrome has made some fundamental changes that do not sit at all well with with what Ccleaner does.

I have Version 7.1.409 AVG free curently installed, and have just downloaded Version AVG 7.5 free. Do I have to un-install 7.1 before installing the 7.5. If I have to un-install 7.1 do I just do it via ADD Remove, or is there a better/thorough way.

thank you

jean bloom

Answer:replacing AVG latest version with earlier version

No, just run the file you downloaded, and you get options to remove, add components or repair. I choose add components, and it installed the new version right over the old.

CCleaner has a new version, v5.05. Maybe you are not using CCleaner regularly so missed it but, Please, update to the new version HERE.

CCleaner version 5.05 has been released!In this release we've continued to improve OS compatibility and added support for the latest version of Windows 10 (build 10049). We've also added browser improvements including startup item detection for Internet Explorer and Firefox, as well as Opera cache and history cleaning.

PS: Wasn't sure what section for something like this; if not right, just move it, no worries.

I've just downloaded and installed the latest version of Ccleaner(v 5.00.5050)and they have totally changed the look of the program.Don't like it!I think I'll just go back to the version before?Has anybody else installed it?

Answer:New version of Ccleaner?

Has anybody else installed it?. Yes and I don't like the appearance much either. It seems a bit washed out, but I suppose if it does its job and its free who are we to complain.

New English only version available from click here Its a zip folder.It isn't available from the CCleaner site just yet as he is waiting for the Norwegian Translation. There are quite a few changes click here

Answer:new version of ccleaner

calmat,I'm so sorry my friend your thread somehow has been missed.Apologies for late acknowledgement.As it only was released yesterday, I haven't downloaded it yet. So cannot comment on contents.However, I'm sure other members have & will be happy to answer.

hello everyonei have just downloaded latest version of ccleaner, can anyone please tell me the safest set up

regards calmat

Answer:ccleaner new version

A good way is to leave default, except do not allow any registry changes; but here are my settings.I have reasons not to leave default. You may want to leave the default and make changes slowly if the results are not to your liking. Just be sure not to allow changes to registry. Although Cc is considered safe, I do not feel registry changes are necessary, does little good, but may cause problems.

???Just checked mine:"Check for UpdateThank you for your interest in new versions of CCleaner. You are using version 1.32.345. Congratulations, this is the very latest version!"Not looked at an update for more than a week.

Hi folks,has anyone been using the latest version of avast(version 8)without any problems?I was going to install it as I'm still on 7.0.1474 but I've read that some folk have been experiencing problems with this latest version?I just wanted to get as much advice as possible before installing it?Thanks folks.

CCleaner has a new version.
CCleaner 1.41.544
http://www.majorgeeks.com/CCleaner_d5125.html
Removes unused and temporary files from your system.
Beware: This version will install Yahoo! Toolbar on your system.
It can easily be removed from add\remove programs.

IMO it should ask you first IF you want to install the toolbar, not have to remove it later. A fine example of what I call terrorist programming where software developers try to force their will on you.
Up them, I say. Bazza

Answer:CCleaner new version out today

Note to those who prefer using the Slim version that this is the FULL version update and includes the Yahoo Toolbar.

I noticed that all versions of CCleaner were updated on Feb 24, except for the "Slim" version. Even at the CCleaner download page at Piriform (the developer of CCleaner), the "Slim" build is not even listed on their "builds" page. :confused What's up?

I just tried out CCleaner, free version, and it did a great job of cleaning out all the crap in my Win 7 install. After that, I was finally able to upgrade to Win 10. So I'm wondering if the PRO version is even better.

I am trying to update to the latest version of CCleaner 18.4867. The update works initially but as soon as I close and re-open CCleaner I find it has reverted to the version I originally updated from - v 18.4844. Wonder if anyone might have any ideas?Pete

Answer:CCleaner version updating problem

"I am trying to update to the latest version of CCleaner 18.4867"Also, try this link to get the latest 19.4867 ( Slim version, no toolbars )http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/do...message edited by Johnw

I run avast which I keep up to date, and I also have CCleaner, but my CCleaner product is old (v4.18.4844). As CCleaner is something I don't use while I'm online I never saw the need to update it. I just use it as an offline temp file cleaner and run it every few weeks or so.Now there have been headlines about a virus contained within CCleaner (https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/09/18/tainted_ccleaner_downloads/), but that seems to be only in recent versions released since after avast took over piriform.I don't think therefore that the virus should have affected me, UNLESS avast has been bundling CCleaner within it's free antivirus product and has been updating my copy of CCleaner. I run avast with only the critical components (shields and scanners), I don't have the "software updater" , "browser cleanup", "safe price" or performance stuff.I would therefore think that this virus in modern CCleaner versions shouldn't affect me, can anyone confirm if my reasoning is correct?Thanks

Answer:I run avast (up to date) and CCleaner (very old version), might I be infected

It wasn't a virus but a backdoor to load malware. If you have the older version you are not affected but you still should update to the latest version for the improvements.

Because my main Laptop is having a new SSD installed, I am using my spare laptop which was upgraded to win 10 Version 10.0.10586 Build 10586 but has not been used for almost a year. Windows updates keep failing and I am using up lots of data download as it seems to fail and then start all over again. How can I force it to upgrade to the Fall Creators upgrade? I am not very tech savy!

If you mean Microsoft Office, then Office 2003 or Office 11 as its also known as, version 12 of office is in early beta at present.

http://www.microsoft.com/office/editions/howtobuy/compare.mspx

but there is a free alternative called Open Office from Sun Microsystems http://www.majorgeeks.com/OpenOffice.org_For_Windows_d3461.html ( not to be confused with MS office, but it will do alot of the things MS Office will do but free as its Open Source )

I've read all over the place people saying 'buy the latest version' or 'wait for the next version'. How do I know if the phone I am looking at online is the latest version or not?

Answer:Buy latest version?

Well, you don't HAVE to buy the latest version. There are always improvements, but a last generation phone or PC will work just fine, and may even cost less.You'll have to have at least a basic idea of how the lineup is. Right now, the Lumia's with the middle numbers 3 and 4 are most recent, however, there's more than just buying based on generation. I have to run, but I can elaborate later.
